February 9th has come and gone and the Hackaday Omnibus 2014 is now shipping. If you were one of the early adopters who pre-ordered, thank you very much it should be in your hands shortly! If you missed out on the Pre-Order, don’t worry you can still get a copy of your very own but we only ordered a small over-run so don’t wait too long.
The Omnibus celebrates the best our writers and illustrators published in 2014 with an 80-page full color volume printed on premium paper. From tales of technology past, to current events, the Omnibus tells the story of what the high points in hardware were last year. We have fallen in love with having a physical version of this content since the proof copies hit our hands a month ago. We believe that this is a conversation waiting to happen — set it out and watch your friends gravitate toward it.
We’ve already seen them popping up on Twitter and we’d love to see more. Make sure to Tweet a picture of your copy to @Hackaday with hashtag #hadOmnibus. We’re happy to see any pictures shared, but if you’re one of the lucky souls who works with awesome hardware make sure to take some ‘extreme’ shots. For instance, reading while you wait for the cyclotron to warm up, the nuclear sub to surface, or your ride to pick you up from Amundsen-Scott.
This is our first ever print edition and we’ve gone to great lengths to make sure it’s something you’ll be proud to have on your coffee table, bookshelf, or anywhere for years to come.

I’m looking forward to getting my copy!
My country mail service just sucks, I’m waiting for my Omnibus to arrive. #GetHomeSoonOmnibus lol
Got my copy! Thanks for the sticker, i’m looking into radar!
I’d buy one, but for $17 shipping to the UK is a bit steep as such I won’t be buying one. I did think about getting more items to make it up to $50 at least then I have more items to play with but the store just simply does not have what I’d want.
> .. we’ve gone to great lengths to make sure ..
Does this apply to blog posts, too?
No, we really don’t care how the blog looks on your coffee table. That’s mostly because we can’t figure out how that would work.
Mine came yesterday! Met and exceeded expectations on the first scan through… looking forward to digging in over the next few days! Nicely done, all!
Waiting for mine to arrive. My cuz is helping in shipping it to India.
Got mine this week! It looks great and the sticker is going on my truck. One of my 8 year old sons called it his before I had a chance to read through it. Will be prying it out of his hands this weekend.
Very nice article. I asolutely love this site. Keep it up!
